Re: Raw SATA install of v 4.52.

Maybe some help Marc ..

Greetings, all.

Please give me some pointers/help on doing a fresh install of
4.52 on an unpartitioned 250G SATA drive. The standard install
disks made from the 4.52 CDRom don't seem to be able to negotiate
that drive structure. Booting from the Installation CDRom and
inserting the Warp 4.52 CD when called for results in an LVM
error.

Obviously I could use Daniela's most recent version drivers if I
knew the method of fooling the system into thinking it is
IBM1S506.add...

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!


Up until the level 1.7.# code from Dani, you could simply use her DaniS506.ADD driver and simply rename it to IBM1S506.ADD and that would still work. I think we are talking the 1.7.10 last release in this venue. If that driver will work with the SATA disk, I think you could substitute it for the IBM1S506.ADD driver on the floppy diskette needed. It would then be snooped for as originally intended. And perhaps you could go forward in that way.

I've also tried asking the folks here if it would be possible to do an install this way with Dani's later driver, plus changing the snoop definitions to look for her DaniS506.ADD instead of the IBM1S506.ADD on the boot run. As of this point I've not had anyone post that this swap operation can be done with the floppy diskette boot install deal. Maybe someone will post that here this time. Not in criticism at all here, just trying to carry at least you and I forward at all this.

As well, I also do realize that if you are going to use Dani's 1.8.# level code, you also have to use her DaniATAPI module instead of the IBM supplied version of that code. That would mean, at least to my awareness of all this, that you would also have to modify the snoop parameters on the floppy diskette to handle this change as well.

As well you absolutely have to insert the COPYFROMFLOPPY or whatever that parameter is called when this is done.

A more devious way to get this done, but still do it, as far as I know, is to deliberately start out on a smaller hard disk partition with the install run. Say an 8GB partition. You complete the MCP2 installation that way. Then, when you get it up and running with Dani's driver package, you simply use Jan's DFSEE to expand that partition beyond the 8GB size, I'd think. But do not know for sure.

Hope this helps Marc.
